day zero

[guestcontrol]

dreamland day zero 42 players remaining. [You wake up in a temporary barracks set up behind an amusement park. The weather is chilly but pleasant, and there aren't any lines for the rides - in fact, it seems you have this place to yourself. The entire park appears to have been abandoned some years ago, and though everything is in working order, it is overgrown with plants and seems rusted and unsafe. As for you, something has happened, though you aren't sure what. There's a throbbing pain in your head, and you can't focus, as though you're coming off heavy pain medications. However you think you should look, you look like a human now. Under the bandages wrapped around your temple, old and smelling like blood, you'll find a recently stitched up scar wound and the inability to focus on your memories. You have no knowledge of how you came to be here; you may even have forgotten certain aspects of your life, or feel confused about them. The fact of your missing memories is obvious, a dark blank spot. Under the bandages around your wrist, you'll find a brightly colored bracelet, decorated with the face of the smiling cartoon animal on your wall, embedded into your flesh. It beeps a merry tune and welcomes you to DreamLand Fun Park. Just then, a voice comes over the loudspeaker.] "Good morning to all of our new guests! The park is now open! We'll get started later, but for now, have a magical day with your new friends! Oh, and there may be a few nasty side effects to your medical condition. If you meet someone having trouble adjusting to reality, please be polite!" [In your room, you'll find a small box containing several personal items - no weapons, magical items, or technology advanced beyond the early 21st century, and nothing dangerous, but otherwise anything you would ordinarily find on your person is there. Of course, nothing with cell reception or internet connectivity can manage to pick up a signal. If you swipe your bracelet against the steel door, it unlocks. You may now explore your accommodations, or venture out into the park.] profiles character statuses setting This is an IC mingle covering the first day!

No one is cutting off any part of the dog!

[screeching just a little]

No one is cutting off any part of anyone yet until we learn more about this!

[Malik winces, because his head still hurts and the last thing he needed was screeching over a mutt.]

Calm down, I'm not doing anything!! [He folds his arm and leers over at the girl.]

It's just a matter of time before someone gets desperate, and I'm sure it'll be a human acting like an animal long before this dog does. We'll just have to see what this game is all about.

[ Missile listens to the discussion with blissful ignorance from the comfort of Maya's petting radius. They keep saying dog! They're talking about him! He feels pretty positive about the girl with the hair that flips up. Maybe it's because he understands what's going on to some extent, and maybe it's because she sounds like a cat when her voice does that thing. Missile likes cats! They often don't like him, but that's life. ]

[He hates you so much right now, small oblivious dog thing. A dog would be the perfect volunteer but no, everyone has to be all noble about it.]

[ Fluffy dog 1, Supernatural cardgames supervillain 0 ]

[obeytherod]

[This dog is worse than Kuriboh!]

[edealistical]

Your wild predictions for the future don't have any bearing on what we do! We're going to listen to what they have to say... and then we're going to smash them.

[She seems quite sure about this.]

[obeytherod]

And I'm sure they won't blow you up before you get there! [He's just sneering at her. Malik's less than optimistic.]

[edealistical]

Hmph. You say that like I haven't lived through worse.

I'm not keen on getting hurt right now, but they can threaten me when they get twenty foot diameter laser beams shot from mile-high mechanical golems.

[obeytherod]

Now I see what they meant by some people being delusional.

[He waves his hand dismissively and makes to move on.]

[edealistical]

Mrgrgr...!

The person who's out of their mind is the one whose first thought was to maim the dog!!

[obeytherod]

[He obviously thinks otherwise, as he doesn't even dignify that with a response and keeps on walking.]
